Best Peach Red Berry Ice Cream Cake Recipes

MERINGUE-TOPPED RASPBERRY AND PEACH ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 23/4-inch-high sides. Blend crumbs and sugar in processor. Add melted butter; process until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture over bottom and up sides of pan. Bake crust until slightly crisp, about 12 minutes. Cool crust completely, then freeze 15 minutes.
• For filling:
• Microwave peach ice cream on low in three 10-second intervals until slightly softened. Drop ice cream by large spoonfuls over bottom of crust; spread over crust. Place pan in freezer 15 minutes. Microwave raspberry sorbet on low in three 10-second intervals until slightly softened. Spoon sorbet in large dollops atop peach ice cream, then spread in even layer. Return pan to freezer 15 minutes. Repeat procedure with vanilla ice cream. Freeze until filling is firm, about 4 hours.
• For meringue:
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff and glossy, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Spoon meringue atop cake, mounding in center and spreading completely to edge of pan. Using rubber spatula or knife, swirl meringue decoratively, creating pointy tips. Freeze 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep frozen.)
• Preheat broiler. Broil cake just until meringue begins to turn light golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove pan sides. Place cake on platter. Serve within 10 minutes with Raspberry-Peach Compote.

PEACH-RASPBERRY ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper. Butter the parchment.
• Macerate fruit: In a small bowl, combine chopped peaches and 1 tablespoon sugar. In another bowl, combine mashed raspberries with 1 tablespoon sugar. Let both macerate for at least 1 hour while you bake the cake.
• Prepare cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat together butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, then beat in vanilla extract and the whole egg. Scrape down sides of bowl again, then beat in egg yolk. With the mixer on low, beat in half the flour mixture, followed by the milk, and then the remaining flour mixture.
• Transfer batter to pan and spread it into a thin, even layer. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when pressed lightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Run a small thin knife or spatula around the cake, then carefully turn out onto rack to cool completely. Discard parchment.
• Prepare ice cream: In a large bowl, combine preserves, evaporated milk, salt and macerated peaches, plus any juices. In another large bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks (do not overbeat). Gently fold cream into peach mixture.
• Assemble ice cream cake: Line a 9- by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 6-inch overhang on each side.
• Cut cooled cake into thirds, making three rectangles 9 by 4 1/3 inches each. (You want a 1/4-inch border of space around each cake layer once it's in the loaf pan; depending on the shape of your pan, you may need to trim cake.)
• Add a third of the cream mixture (about 1 1/3 cups) to pan and smooth into an even layer. Top with one cake layer, pressing down slightly so cream comes up and around sides of cake evenly. Drain mashed raspberries, then spread half the fruit onto cake. Repeat process a second time, adding another third of the cream; a cake layer, pressing down slightly so cream comes up and around sides; and remaining raspberries. Add remaining cream, then top with final cake layer, pressing down slightly so cream comes up and around sides. Use plastic overhang to wrap cake up tightly. Freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
• To serve, toss sliced peach with 1/2 cup raspberries and 1 tablespoon sugar and let macerate until a bit juicy, about 10 minutes. Remove cake from freezer, unwrap, and lift out of pan. Invert onto a serving plate and let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Top with peach-raspberry mixture.

PEACH COBBLER ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Stir 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, the lemon juice and peaches in a large pot; let sit 15 minutes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the peaches are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove 3/4 cup peaches with a slotted spoon and refrigerate for topping. Puree the remaining peaches and cooking liquid in a blender; transfer to a bowl and freeze until very thick, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Coarsely crush the graham crackers and toss with the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the pecans and butter on the prepared baking sheet; spread into a thin layer. Bake 7 minutes, then stir and continue baking until golden brown, 6 to 10 more minutes. Let cool and harden, then crumble and set aside.
• Assemble the cake: Let 2 pints ice cream soften at room temperature until spreadable, about 10 minutes. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom and sides with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Spread the softened ice cream in the prepared pan, then top evenly with the peach puree. Freeze until the puree is firm, about 45 minutes.
• Let the remaining 2 pints ice cream soften, 10 minutes, then spread over the peach puree. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the pecan mixture and press it into the ice cream. Cut the pound cakes lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange the slices in a single layer on top of the ice cream, trimming as needed. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Uncover the cake, then invert onto a plate; remove the springform ring and the remaining plastic wrap. Cover the top and sides with the whipped cream. Top with the reserved peaches and remaining pecan mixture. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

PEACH COBBLER ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake rounds and set aside.
• To Make the Pound Cake:.
• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk or sift together the flour baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the sour cream. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and gave them a few taps on the counter to dislodge any air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 18 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• To Make the Peach Jam Layer:.
• In a large bowl, stir together the preserves, peaches, and bourbon if using. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use.
• To Make the Cobbler Biscuit Pieces:.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add in the cold butter and work with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the batter onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter on top and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• To Assemble the Peach Ice Cream Layers:.
• Allow the vanilla ice cream to soften a bit. Then transfer to a large bowl. Fold in the peaches and preserves gently, until streaked throughout the vanilla ice cream. Pour into a 9-inch round cake pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Press the peach ice cream down into a smooth even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Pour the softened peach sorbet into a 9-inch round cake pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Press down into a smooth even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
• To Make the Caramel:.
• Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan, set over medium-high heat. Gently swirl the pan constantly, without actually stirring the mixture, and cook until it becomes a dark amber color. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. It'll bubble up and get thick, but keep stirring until smooth. Whisk in the bourbon vanilla bean seeds and salt. Pour into a jar and allow to cool down to room temperature. Once cool, store in the fridge until ready to use.
• To Assemble the Cake:.
• Line the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, to create high sides. Trim the top of the cooled pound cake layers to even them out. Place one layer of pound cake, upside down, into the spring-form pan. Pour half of the peach jam over the cake layer and spread out evenly. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Crumble a few of the biscuits and sprinkle them evenly over the jam layer. Carefully remove the peach ice cream from the cake pan and remove the plastic wrap. Place into the spring form pan on top of the cobbler layer. Then place the second pound cake layer inches Pour the remaining peach jam over the cake and spread out evenly. Chill in the fridge until firm, about 1 hour. Top with more crumbled cobbler biscuits and then finally the peach sorbet layer. Freeze once more until firm, about 3 hours.
• To Make the Butter Cream:.
• Beat the butter until light and fluffy about 5 minutes. Add in the powdered sugar, a cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the milk, vanilla extract and salt. Beat on high until creamy and smooth. Divide the buttercream into 3 separate bowls. Dye one a dark orange. One a lighter orange and then leave one white. Transfer each to disposable piping bags.
• Remove the cake from the freezer and then carefully remove it from the springform pan, discarding the parchment paper from the sides. Starting from the bottom of the cake, pipe out two rows of dark orange buttercream all around the cake. Then pipe out two rows of the lighter orange buttercream around the cake, and then pipe out 2 rows of white buttercream around the sides and top of the cake. Pipe out light orange buttercream on the top center of the cake.
• Using an offset spatula or a bench scraper, smooth out the buttercream on the sides and bottom. Coat the bottom of the cake with crumbled cobbler biscuits. Return to the freezer while you prepare the topping.
• To Grill the Peaches:.
• Place a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat, once hot, grease with canola oil and place the peach halves on top, cut side down. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until grill marks form. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool down completely. Slice them in half, leaving two intact.
• To Decorate the Top of the Cake:.
• Drizzle the edges of the cake with the caramel sauce so that it drips down the sides. Then arrange the grilled peaches on top along with some crumbled cobbler biscuit pieces. Cut and serve immediately or place in freezer until ready to serve.
